404: Country Not Found

Erdoğan’s government blocked Twitter in March 2014 after the platform became the main channel for spreading leaked recordings implicating him in a corruption scandal. Turkish users responded almost immediately with DNS workarounds, and the phrase "we blocked Twitter" briefly became the most-tweeted thing in the country—which is the kind of outcome only a government genuinely afraid of the internet would fail to anticipate. A court eventually ordered the ban lifted. You can cut off a country’s access for a few days. You cannot unlearn that the door exists.
